This bug happened on vanilla servers, which rules out 1 & 2 from your list if it applies to L4D (I'm not sure if it does - like I said in another post, I don't care about L4D) This bug was VERY real, and valve acknowledged it. They later fixed it. Valve is #1 in design and gameplay (hell, tras

So true. Without going back through thousands of emails I'm tentatively blaming; 1) Poor server conigurations/specifications 2) Plugin (Misconfiguration or Buggy) 3) Segfault which the administrator isn't noticing 4) Some other completely non-VALVe related error or bug. I've set up multiple L4D

Seems to be a Windows only problem as far as I can tell. We ran about 50 servers at one point, now thanks to this bug (and maybe general lack of interest) we host about 8 servers. shorec...@comcast.net wrote: > That doesn't happen to me... > > - Original Message - > From: "Midnight"
